Teach me.

Those who understand others are wise
Those who know themselves are in the light
Those who conquer others are powerful
Those who conquer themselves are mighty
Those who are content are wealthy
Those who take action have will

Dao De Jing (verse 33)--Lao Tzu

Teach me, my love,
how am I supposed to tell you?

If I tell you to leave me,
would not it sound heartless?
If I tell you not to leave,
would not it be an ill manner?
If I tell you to do whatever suits you,
would not it be a cold disagreement?
If I tell you to stay with me,
would not it be vanity?
